No real surprise there. While the available hardware is adequate the pay scales are at a level where only professors and heads of institutions can make any kind of long term life plans based on their salaries. And even they don't make a lot of money compared to very basic jobs in the industry.

Simple things like having a car is out of the question for someone who is not single and in a postdoc position (much less for someone working on their PhD)...and in any case these groups can completely forget about ever buying an appartment.
